I hope someone will give a fuller answer, but just in case not, the
script was published in England in the 70s, I think. I don't have
publisher or author credits, but the author's are probably listed as
William Shakespeare and John Barton. I hope someone will make my answer
look callow and give full details.
I have sought the published script in used bookstores in 4 countries.
Can't find it.

Actually, I recall that the Cincinnatti Shakespeare Festival did a show
by the same title, it was adapted by R. Chris Reeder from Shakespeare's
Henry VI trilogy, and Directed by Jasson Minadakis, perhaps Mr. Godshalk
has more specific info...

I don't know if it is easily available for performance purposes, but
Jeff Kean could probably contact the RSC for a definitive answer (their
website is http://www.rsc.org.uk ).
If Mr. Kean or anyone else is curious about the War of the Roses
production, in Dollimore & Sinefield's Political Shakespeare (2nd ed.)
Sinefield has an interesting essay on the post-war fortunes of the RSC
which discusses the War of the Roses project in some detail.
